Support JWT for Gramex Keys
Currently, Gramex keys use Tornado signed cookies to represent a user object, and log in as that user.
An alternative is JSON Web Tokens.
The only advantage this has is that it's a more popular standard than Tornado's cookies, so users without access to Python/Tornado can still create users.
However, the need for this is limited to developers automating Gramex app testing with authentication, which is not too common.
